Boscastle is where I grew up and went to school.
On the 16th August 2004, Boscastle was hit by a devastating flood. Property, roads, bridges and businesses were destroyed but thankfully not a single life was lost.
The actions of the emergency services and locals were critical to that outcome.
The resilience of the local businesses in the months and years after the flood is a testament to Cornish heritage.
Boscastle is a thriving village, harbour and community and our thought are with everyone who was impacted by the flood.
